Stars and Stripes Air Tour(s) is providing helicopter tours of the St. Louis area, after a 12 year hiatus of helicopter tours.

Nothing, and I mean nothing says "random new york ad firm" like the part about St. Louis tours offering spectacular, unforgettbale vies of "THE GREAT AMERICAN SOUTH".

Also strange is the reference to "a time when patriotism is rare" Its rare now??

Ladies and gentleman, to the left is the St. Louis Arch,

A little further in is the Statue of St. Louis himself

And, ladies and gentleman, right next to the statue of St. Louis is this great city's other famous tribute to a man on horseback: Nathan Bedford Forrest, Klan emeritus.

From the Press Release:

Stars and Stripes Air Tours, bringing over 25 years of helicopter operating
experience, is proud to present its newest venture in helicopter flight
services and excursions. Based out of St. Louis, Missouri, Gateway Air
Tours offers spectacular, unforgettable views of the great American South.

In a time when patriotism and loyalty are simultaneously both rare and
essential, Gateway Air Tours seeks to reveal the spectacle of America from
the sky, because sometimes it is necessary to take a step back to see the
beauty of the big picture.

St. Louis is one of the most quintessentially American cities in the South,
and is brimming with historic places and monuments such as Forest Park, the
heart of St. Louis and home of the 1904 World's Fair.

Soar above a spectrum of the world's most captivating creatures as your
pilot takes you over the St. Louis Zoo, America's number one zoo according
to the Zagat Survey. Each gem witnessed on your flight will be strung
together by that inescapable silvery thread that is this country's most
vital vein: the Mississippi River.

These panoramic vistas are a wonderful way to celebrate a birthday or
anniversary, or even just to explore downtown St. Louis for the first time.
This Independence Day weekend, celebrate as the fireworks do, as you fly the
Stars and Stripes in the great Missouri sky.

Located at the foot of the St Louis Arch National Monument and on the banks
of the Mississippi River, Gateway Air Tours welcomes both reservations and
walk-in's.

Clearing up the references to St. Louis being in the South, some assistant at Nancy Hirsch Media Imaging and Public Relations from New York lets us know:

Leave it to silly New Yorkers who never leave their little island of
Manhattan to confuse St. Louis with the South.

Profuse apologies; we've changed our statement to clarify that St. Louis is
indeed in the Midwest.

We think St. Louis is great and all we wanted to do was draw attention to
your city. Sorry for the mistake.

Not only was that a sloppy mistake, but the release itself reads like hallmark on roids. How much are they getting paid again??
